When the woman saw that Lu Xiaochan was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, why didn't this young man eat it? Don't you like the earthy taste of catfish?"
Lu Xiaochan knew that Shu Wuxi seldom ate. When he was at Wusi Winery, it was mostly Shu Wuxi who watched Lu Xiaochan eat. He quickly tried to smooth things over: "Don't get me wrong! My brother has always been like this. He always saves the delicious food for me. Right?"
"Yeah." Shu Wuxi responded softly.
"Ah, you two brothers have such a good relationship!"
As he was speaking, he saw Shu Wuxi using chopsticks to pick the meat off the catfish, taking the fish bones into the bowl and pushing them to Lu Xiaochan.
Lu Xiaochan ate the boneless fish, drank the soup, and then scooped a spoonful of tofu, wondering why she forgot to please Shu Wuxi: "Brother Wuxi, eat too!"
He thought that Shu Wuxi was so clean that he would definitely not want to eat the spoon he had eaten. Who knew that Shu Wuxi turned his face to the side and gently raised his wrist, and Suo Xian Ling pulled Lu Xiaochan's hand up, and Shu Wuxi held the spoon in his mouth and ate the tofu.
Lu Xiaochan froze there. Even though the other party hadn't touched him at all, he still felt as if his finger had been eaten by the other party.
Jiang Wuchao didn't know what was going on. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he turned his head away.
After drinking the catfish soup and listening to the story of Hejia Village, Shu Wuxi pulled up the Suoxian Ling and continued on his journey with Lu Xiaochan.
Jiang Wuchao really wanted to find the evil temple, but he knew in his heart that this evil spirit had been doing evil for a long time and had absorbed and accumulated evil thoughts for at least a hundred years. He was afraid that he alone could not deal with it.
But the longer the delay, the more danger the missing Madam Meng and the Meng family's disciples would be in. Most of them would have died by now.
Jiang Wuchao originally wanted to ask Shu Wuxi for help, but seeing that Shu Wuxi seemed unattractive to him, he was afraid that even if he knelt down and broke his head, it would be useless.
Jiang Wuchao had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and said to Lu Xiaochan: "Xiaochan, Madam Meng and the disciples of the Meng family just disappeared like that. If I turn a blind eye, I'm afraid I'll be punished by the master. You guys have to hurry on your way, so we can only say goodbye now."
"Ah? What? Are you going to look for that evil temple?"
Lu Xiaochan pulled the lock fairy silk, but immediately remembered that Shu Wuxi didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so she had to plead with him, "Brother Wuxi... how about you... give Brother Jiang some advice?"
Jiang Wuchao immediately climbed up the pole: "If you can give me some advice, I will be very grateful!"
Lu Xiaochan pricked up her ears, thinking that Shu Wuxi would tell Jiang Wuchao what the evil spirit was called, what it fed on, and how to form a sword formation to deal with it. However, Shu Wuxi only said four words.
"You are overestimating your own abilities."
Then he continued to move forward with Lu Xiaochan.
My dear father! I know that you always describe the most complicated things in the simplest words, but "overestimating one's own ability" is really hurtful! Which mountain did you come down from
Lu Xiaochan was thinking about what to say to save the situation, but Jiang Wuchao bowed his head and said, "Thank you, senior. But in this world, there are always some things that we know we can't do, but we have to do them."
After saying that, Jiang Wuchao turned and left.
Lu Xiaochan no longer begged Shu Wuxi for help. There were too many trivial matters in this world to handle and too many evil spirits to count. She just hoped that Jiang Wuchao would be safe.
"Well, Brother Jiang, I think that instead of fighting alone, you might as well summon your fellow disciples to join you!"
Jiang Wuchao turned around and smiled: "I'm afraid that by the time my fellow disciples arrive, they will have already died. Thank you for your concern!"
When only Lu Xiaochan and Shu Wuxi were left, Lu Xiaochan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Brother Wuxi, do you know what 'knowingly it's impossible to do something, but having to do it' means?"
"I know." Shu Wuxi replied.
He suddenly stopped, but the bored Lu Shu did not stop. He took two more steps forward, and Lu Xiaochan just came to Shu Wuxi's side.
Lu Xiaochan could smell the scent on Shu Wuxi and couldn't help but lower his head, while Shu Wuxi was looking up at him.
“Knowing that it is a sea of obsession, I refuse to cross the shore. I only wish to be a mayfly, living in the morning and dying in the evening… I only ask for the rest of my life to have…”
The breath between his lips and teeth touched Lu Xiaochan's lips, pried them up gently, and sneaked in, into Lu Xiaochan's internal organs, indulgently, the burning pain in his lungs came again, his shoulders trembled, and he sat up straight.
At this moment, Lu Xiaochan heard some rustling sounds coming from not far away, and... a faint smell of blood.
"Is it a wild beast?" Lu Xiaochan pulled the Immortal Locking Silk tighter.
"Nothing." Shu Wuxi continued walking forward as if he had heard nothing.
Then Lu Xiaochan heard a faint cry for help, and it sounded familiar, as if it was the voice of the little girl who greeted him when he first entered Lijia Village.
"Wait, Brother Wuxi... is someone injured?"
"yes."
Lu Xiaochan would not care if it was not something that happened right in front of her.
But Lu Xiaochan couldn't bear to abandon the injured girl in the mountains and leave her to die without saving her.
After all, the little girl had once smiled at him sincerely.
"Brother Wuxi, can we go see how she is?"
"No." Shu Wuxi replied.
Just as they walked past the girl, the sound of silver bells came from her body.
As soon as Lu Xiaochan heard it, she knew it was Jiang Wuchao's! Jiang Wuchao used the sound as momentum to stimulate the power of the sword formation. If he was not worried about his life, why would he drop his silver bell
"Brother Wuxi! Wait a minute! Brother Jiang might be in trouble!"
“Xiao Chan, this isn’t the first time you’ve put Jiang Wuchao in your mouth.”
"Yes! Brother Jiang is mine..."
"It seems that I have to find him too." Shu Wuxi said lightly.
"Great, you're going to help him!"
"Find him, kill him, and you won't mention him again."
Lu Xiaochan's heart trembled. Oh no, Shu Wuxi never jokes!
"We don't need to worry about it! Don't worry about it! Keep going!" Lu Xiaochan patted Lu Shu's neck, thinking that Jiang Wuchao called Shu Wuxi "senior", which meant that Shu Wuxi was more powerful! Shu Wuxi said he wanted to kill him, maybe it would be easier than killing an ant with a straw sandal!
But Lu Shu lay there motionless, no matter how Lu Xiaochan hit him, it was useless.
Angered by Lu Xiaochan's slap, Lu Shu swung his tail up, intending to hit Lu Xiaochan on the back, but was caught by Shu Wuxi's fingers.
"presumptuous."
Lu Shu was so frightened that he trembled, and the tip of his tail was pinched off by Shu Wuxi's fingers.
It could only hum with its head down, not daring to make a sound.
Shu Wuxi stood in front of the little girl, lowered his head and asked, "Where is Jiang Wuchao?"
"Please... please save me..."
The little girl's abdomen was torn open and bleeding, but fortunately her internal organs were not taken out. If she hadn't been rescued, she would have died.
"No... If you want to ask her where Brother Jiang went, you also have to treat her injuries and make her talk better, right?"
The little girl raised her hand with great effort, trying to grab the corner of Shu Wuxi's clothes as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. Shu Wuxi clearly did not move, but the corner of his clothes flew up because of the spiritual power around him. The little girl raised her eyes with difficulty and saw Shu Wuxi's eyes without any emotion.
There was no mercy or compassion, as if she was just a stone on the roadside and a leaf fell from it.
The little girl's tears fell.
Lu Xiaochan got off Lu Shu's body and stumbled to the little girl's side. Just as she was about to bend down, Shu Wuxi raised his hand and Suoxian Ling pulled Lu Xiaochan up.
He flicked his fingertips, and a ray of light immediately entered the little girl's body, and the wound on her abdomen healed.
The pain was gone, the little girl touched her body in disbelief and immediately knelt down to express her gratitude.
"Thank you! Thank you, Immortal Lord! Please save my father!"
"What's going on? The bell in your hand belongs to a friend of mine!" Lu Xiaochan asked.
"Brother Jiang, who came to our village with you today, asked if anyone knew where the evil god temple was. My father actually came from Hejia Village. His sister killed her entire family because she believed in the evil god, and only my father escaped. My father said that Brother Jiang was an immortal who practiced Taoism and must have a way to deal with the evil god, so he led Brother Jiang to find it!"
"Wait! Your father took Brother Jiang to find the evil temple, why did you also go and cause trouble?"
"My father had his leg broken by his possessed sister, so he couldn't move around easily. Naturally, I went with him to take care of him..."
In fact, the old man couldn't remember where the evil temple was. He only saw it once when he went to find his sister who had sneaked out to worship the evil god in the middle of the night.
Even in broad daylight, the deeper you go into the forest, the more shade the trees cast and the less light there is.
Just when the old man thought they were lost, they actually found the evil temple.
In fact, it can't be called a temple. There is just a towering ancient tree that has been dead for many years. A life-size clay statue is placed in the cracked part in the middle. In front of the clay statue, there is even an incense burner that had been used to offer incense not long ago.
This shows that even if Hejia Village is gone, there are still people worshiping the evil god.
The ancient tree is surrounded by continuous and discontinuous stones, which surround the ancient tree like a wall.
Just as Jiang Wuchao was looking around the evil temple, the clay statue in the belly of the ancient tree suddenly moved, transformed into a real person, and walked towards them slowly.
Dad recognized at first sight that it was his long-missing sister. Jiang Wuchao said that his sister was possessed by an evil spirit, and immediately drew his sword to suppress the evil spirit. Unexpectedly, the surrounding stone walls moved and locked him in.
The evil god penetrated the old man's body and tried to take out the girl's internal organs. Fortunately, Jiang Wuchao blocked it with his sword, and the bell on the sword was cut off by the evil spirit. The power of the sword formation was greatly reduced. The girl ran madly with the bell, holding her breath, but finally she could not run anymore because she was too seriously injured.
Lu Xiaochan tilted her head with a worried look on her face, but she immediately realized that there was something wrong with the story.
He subconsciously pulled the lock fairy silk, wanting to whisper to Shu Wuxi that there was something wrong.
But Shu Wuxi said to the little girl nonchalantly, "Lead the way."
Lu Xiaochan couldn't help it, so she grabbed Shu Wuxi and said unhappily, "How can this be possible? You knew there was a problem, but you still insisted on falling into the trap!"
Shu Wuxi turned a deaf ear and said, "Go up."
Lu Xiaochan had no choice but to climb onto Lu Shu's back with a grunt.
He knew very well that with Jiang Wuchao's character, he would never let his fellow villager take him to any evil god temple. He knew that he might not be the opponent of the evil god, so how could he let his fellow villager take risks with him! So there must be something wrong with what this little girl said!
But it was a foregone conclusion that something had happened to Jiang Wuchao.
The little girl was blocking their way with a bell in her hand, and she must be trying to lure them to the evil temple with Jiang Wuchao's life at stake. Before they arrived, Jiang Wuchao's life should not be lost.
But if Shu Wuxi went there, if he destroyed the Temple of the Evil God, the next move would be to take Jiang Wuchao's life.
If Shu Wuxi wasn't so powerful and was eaten by the evil god, Lu Xiaochan would definitely have died.
So, is it better for Shu Wuxi to be powerful or not powerful
This is really a headache.
While leading the way, the little girl was also finding out their true colors.
"Young Master! Where are you and your brother from? Which sect of cultivation do you belong to?"
"Me? I joined the biggest gang in the world!" Lu Xiaochan held his head high and chest puffed out, looking proud.
At this point, he was proud of his optimism.
"What is the biggest gang in the world?"
"The Beggars' Sect!" Lu Xiaochan replied.
"Ah? What is the Beggars' Sect? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"My gang is so powerful! We have disciples all over the world! Each of our 100,000 members is an expert at exorcising evil spirits!"
Come on, beggars go hungry every day, and they are lucky not to be possessed by "Bait Shang"!
Shu Wuxi walked in front without saying a word, letting Lu Xiaochan talk nonsense.
"Then young master, you must be very capable too, right? What is your special skill?" The little girl had an inexplicable awe for Shu Wuxi, and naturally felt that Lu Xiaochan, who was blind, was easier to talk to.
"My special skill... Then you better listen carefully." Lu Xiaochan coughed, deliberately whetting the other party's appetite.
The little girl tilted her head up, waiting for Lu Xiaochan to use his ultimate move.
At this time, a small caterpillar fell from the branch, and Lu Xiaochan immediately shouted: "Brother Wuxi, help me—"
Shu Wuxi turned around, flicked his fingertips, and a stream of true energy came out, and the little caterpillar was flung far away.
The little girl was stunned.
Lu Xiaochan narrowed her eyes and smiled, lowered her head and said: "Look, this is my special move! Isn't it amazing!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"So... So you don't have any skills!"
"How can this not be a skill? This is a great skill!" Lu Xiaochan smiled happily with her eyes narrowed, holding a preserved vegetable pancake in her hand.
During this journey, Shu Wuxi kept everything for him, and it never got cold or bad.
Take one more sip of "Drunkenness and Dreaminess" and all evil spirits will be nothing to you!
They walked further and further into the dark, the chirping of insects and birds became less and less frequent, and it became eerily quiet.
The quieter it was, the smaller the sound Jiang Wuchao could use, and the weaker the power of his sword formation. No wonder he got into trouble here.
Lu Xiaochan knew that they were getting closer and closer to the evil god's temple, and logically he should be getting more and more scared. However, because of the Immortal Locking Silk tied around his wrist, Lu Xiaochan felt like Shu Wuxi was holding his hand, and he was not afraid of anything.
As he was speaking, Lu Shu under him suddenly stopped. His whole body tensed up and Lu Xiaochan, who was sitting on him, could feel his nervousness.
"We're here..." The little girl's voice trembled slightly. She took two steps back, hesitated, and then stood still. "My dad... my dad is right there!"
Just outside the circle of stone formation, an old man in his fifties or sixties was lying on the ground with a stiff face and a bloody hole in his chest. It was obvious that he was dead.
"Dad—Dad—"
Lu Xiaochan listened attentively. He had no interest in the little girl's crying. He just tried hard to distinguish the voice coming from Jiang Wuchao, but the little girl's voice was too loud and Lu Xiaochan was annoyed.
"Hey, little girl, you've almost finished your acting, haven't you? We've all come to see this evil goddess, why are you still howling? How about saving your energy?"
The little girl immediately stopped crying, stood up, and looked extremely aggrieved: "Young Master, my father is gone! Can't I even be sad?"
Lu Xiaochan crossed one leg, supported her chin, and curled up her lips into a teasing smile.
"Girl, the evil temple is right next to you, aren't you afraid? Even if you are brave, you should hold your father and stay away from him before you start crying, right?"
"you… "
"And you're not from Chenjia Village, but Hejia Village, right? Because your accent is a little different from the couple who greeted us." Lu Xiaochan pointed a gap with her finger, "Do you still keep the fine tradition of worshiping evil gods in Hejia Village?"
The little girl's expression changed immediately.
"As for being sad, that's even more unreasonable! You don't even have a heart, how can you be sad?" Lu Xiaochan scratched her ears. "It's true that your stomach was cut open and you bled a lot, but you followed us all the way and I didn't hear your heartbeat. Where did your heart go? What kind of evil magic can make you walk, talk and act without a heart? Besides, besides your father, you have other accomplices, right!"
The author has something to say: Lu Xiaochan: My magical skill has finally been unlocked!
Shu Wuxi: What kind of magical skill
Lu Xiaochan: Summon Sword Sect Master Yangcang!
Shu Wuxi: There is a price to pay for summoning him.
Lu Xiaochan: ... I... I'll have to rely on myself from now on...
Shu Wuxi: It's just feeding him tofu, why are you so nervous
Hahaha, actually in this chapter, Xiao Chan has already taken advantage of Brother Wuxi!
Don't be lazy, let the geese leave their feathers behind, praise the little cicada, although he is very sweet, he is not stupid at all
